Two powerful conversations about the body, identity, and the realities many people are living with but rarely talk about.First, we’re joined by Talia Cecchele, a specialist nutritionist who works with people struggling with eating disorders, breaking down the psychological and physical realities behind conditions like anorexia, bulimia, and disordered eating. From the early warning signs to the long road to recovery, we unpack how social media, body image pressure and diet culture continue to shape the way we see ourselves.Then we hear from Betty Mukherjee, star of Race Across the World Series 4, who was diagnosed with MRKH (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome) - a rare condition where someone is born without a uterus. Often discovered in teenage years, MRKH can have profound emotional and psychological impacts, particularly around identity, fertility, relationships and womanhood.In an honest and powerful conversation, she shares what it was like receiving the diagnosis, how it changed her understanding of her body, and the realities of living with a condition that many people have never even heard of.Together, these conversations open up important questions about body image, identity, fertility, health, and the pressure placed on women’s bodies.Topics covered include:Eating disorders and disordered eatingRecovery and treatment approachesDiet culture and social media pressuresWhat MRKH syndrome is and how it affects peopleFertility, identity and womanhoodLearning to live with — and understand — your bodyhttps://www.taliacecchele.com/https://www.instagram.com/bettymuk_/?hl=en
